Local numbers FAQs

During the sign up process, RingCentral will ask you whether you want a local or toll free number. Once you complete the process, you can start using your new number right away. Every RingCentral subscriber can order additional numbers from multiple locations, all of which will be synchronized with their account.

It depends on your needs. Some RingCentral customers use a local number because they want to appear local to potential customers, who will have the convenience of making a local call to reach you. For instance, a real estate agent who lives and operates in the Chicago suburbs with a 847 area code may want to advertise a Chicago phone number with a 312 area code if she wants to do business there. She can forward the calls to her cell phone, home phone, etc.

If someone leaves a voicemail for you, RingCentral can alert you to it via a text message on your cell phone. You can dial into your account and listen to your voicemail at any time. After you listen to your message, the auto-attendant will ask you if you want to reply—if so, just press a number on your phone to automatically connect to the caller.

You can also reply to callers from your computer. All calls and faxes are logged into your online account—and all phone numbers in your account are active links. Click on the link and you’ll activate RingOut click-to-call dialing. RingOut does the dialing for you—it’ll ring the phone you’re currently using and connect you to the caller.

Yes. You can order as many numbers with as many local area codes as you want.

Your plan includes one company-level fax number and one company-level main number. These can be toll-free or local numbers. Each additional local number is $4.99 a month and includes all the same RingCentral features as your other RingCentral numbers.
